Show Notes In this week's episode, Jennifer has a candid conversation with Deacon Art Miller about how the murder of his friend, Emmett Till, impacted him as well as the importance of honoring those who have come before us. Our Guest Deacon, author, radio host, revivalist and retired businessman, Deacon Art Miller is the former director of the Office for Black Catholic Ministries for the Archdiocese of Hartford.  In addition to his assigned parishes, he is also the Catholic chaplain at Hartford's Capital Community College.   A nationally known preacher of God's Holy Scripture, he has traveled throughout the country raising the need for conversion to “Radical Love”. The kind of self-denying love that can only be accomplished through the grace and power offered to us through Jesus Christ.  Deacon Miller has preached throughout the United States – from New England to the Katrina-ravaged Gulf Coast of Mississippi, from the Rocky Mountains of northern New Mexico, to the south side of Chicago; he teaches and preaches Christ's call to His life-changing “Radical Love”. Links from the show USCCB Daily Readings https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emmett_Till The Journey to Chatham by Deacon Art Miller Susan David, Author of Emotional Agility Bible Study with Deacon Art Till Freedom Come, movie about Emmett Till Scripture Verses Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 A time for forgiving… Psalm 139 John 11:35 “And Jesus wept” Journaling Questions Many of us experience feelings of abandonment or a loss of faith after a loved one passes. Even Mother Theresa experienced this, as was shared in Mother Teresa: Come Be My Light: The Private Writings of the Saint of Calcutta. When have you felt abandoned by God? Deacon Art shared that there is always a “message in the mess.”  What message do you think God is trying to share with you in a mess you are experiencing or have experienced? What is an emotion you have had trouble expressing or naming? Spend some time pondering why and try to name that emotion, as psychologist Susan David encourages in her book, Emotional Agility. Have you ever caught yourself comparing your grief with someone else or even yourself in different losses?  If you have lost a loved one, what is a way that someone can show they care that would be meaningful to you? Have you ever thought about telling them? What is your mourning glory? Prayer for the souls of those who have come before us: James Robinson, Deacon Art's grandfather and his sister, Dena Miller-Dyson.

On September 11, 2001, Hena Doba grabbed her camcorder in Queens and started interviewing neighbors on the street. As a small-town producer rather than an on-air journalist, Hena let her journalistic instincts lead her. When she returned to Watertown, NY, her news director kept her on air. Hena was the first Pakistani anchor in the U.S., but in the post 9/11 fear-based America, her news director was getting a lot of emails demanding the answer to, "Why are you putting a terrorist on air?" As Hena says, it only takes one person to believe in you, and the rest is history. Not many journalists have the unique experience of reporting/anchoring in major news markets, being a National Correspondent for a legacy network, and seamlessly being able to go into the world of digital and streaming networks, but Hena Doba has done just that. She has covered many major stories in her career, including the 9/11 Terrorist Attack, Sandyhook & Parkland massacre, and The Iran Nuclear Deal at the White House, along with interviewing entertainers and CEO's from around the world.  Currently, she is a host for Cheddar News & anchors "Wake up" & "ChedHer," highlighting the stories of female trailblazers in tech, finance, and entertainment. She joined Cheddar in January 2019 after working as a National Correspondent for CBS News in New York.  During her television career, Hena has simultaneously taught journalism as an Adjunct Professor at Capital Community College and the Connecticut School of Broadcasting. Hena won several awards, including an Associated Press award for Best Spot News, Best Breaking News, and Best Sports Feature.  In this episode, we talk about her decision to jump from traditional TV news to streaming and how to identify what's next. Note: Her agent told her she was making the biggest mistake of her career. Hena shares that a great news storyteller never makes the story about themselves, the importance of building trust with your subjects, staying connected through the years, and her wild work schedule.

It's almost summertime and kids everywhere are already dreaming about their summer vacation. In 1964, Jimmy O'Sullivan of Cheshire, Connecticut had his heart set on a family outing from Connecticut to the see the World's Fair in New York City's Flushing Meadows Park with its futuristic, space-themed exhibits and “Peace Through Understanding” overarching theme. A short drive down Connecticut's Merritt Parkway and over to Flushing Meadow Park put the O'Sullivan family squarely into the heart of the fair. O'Sullivan still has a photograph of himself at 9 years old in front of the fairs' Unisphere, a 12-story-high stainless steel globe. The 1964-65 New York World's Fair attracted approximately 50 million visitors including many from Connecticut during its two April-to-October seasons.   The guest for this episode is Dr. Jason Scappaticci, historian and Associate Dean of Student Affairs at Capital Community College in Hartford. Not only does Dr. Scappaticci have a keen interest in all things World's Fair but he is an avid collector of souvenirs and mementos from the fair.   Many Connecticut companies had exhibits at the fair. Standouts include the Travelers Insurance Company's building on the “Pool of Industry”. The building was designed to resemble the company's trademark red umbrella. General Electric's pavilion stood across from the Travelers. It included a Disney designed attraction called “Progressland”.

CBIA BizCast host Ali Warshavsky speaks with AI Engineers' Kevin Hussain about the need to expand diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. Hussain, who is associate vice president of bridge inspections at the Middletown-based engineering firm, immigrated to the U.S. from the Caribbean. He chose to attend Capital Community College and the University of Hartford because each was affordable and he could get to classes using public transportation. “If I had a seat at the table, the first thing I am going to say is, I took a bus to college and to community college, how are we going to make this project or this university accessible for different people,” Hussain said. “That's the key part of it; it comes down to this first part of DEI. Having people like us have a seat at the table, having those conversations, how do we improve infrastructure and transportation?” The CBIA BizCast is made possible through the generous support of Google.

A more Noseish confluence of events we may never have seen been before. And so we assembled an emergency, podcast-only, shortish Nose to deal with it.

This episode of In The Know features conversation with Veena Jayadeva, Director of Corporate Responsibility at Guardian Life Insurance, Hannah Gregory from Capital Community College in Connecticut, and Allison Beer and Jacob Bray from ACCT. Our discussion focuses on ACCT's most recent report, Bridging Financial Wellness And Student Success: Effective Models for Community College. Major takeaways from the report include: Community college students’ expenses often exceed available grant aid. Community college tuition is known for being relatively affordable; however, the cost of tuition and living expenses is typically greater than the amount of their available resources and grant aid. Sufficient federal and state financial aid resources are necessary to meet students’ financial needs. Colleges can also support students with financial aid interventions such as emergency grant aid, institutional balance forgiveness, and improved financial aid information. Financial education can be critical for students as they navigate the complex nature of college financing and personal expenses; however, education about finances is not a replacement for financial aid resources. Financial education combined with sufficient aid can help empower students to make complex financial decisions associated with attending college. To provide relevant financial education, community colleges must consider the varied skill sets and knowledge held by their students. This report highlights the Guardian Money Management for Life Program as a financial empowerment model for community colleges. Among students who participated in the course from 2015 to 2019, 75% report having a better understanding of personal financial management. Recognizing that when students’ basic financial needs are met, they are more likely to succeed academically, several Guardian Life partner colleges have evolved the personal finance course to a holistic financial wellness model. Notably, these colleges are moving toward developing or expanding one-stop financial empowerment centers where students receive resources for financial education, aid, and career development. This report was made possible by a grant from Guardian.  If you want to check out the full report, it’s available on our website, acct.org, under the publications tab. Thanks for listening, we’ll see you next time.

Colleges and universities sometimes have an “arm distance” relationship with their communities. Alternatively, Dr. Jeffrey Partridge, Director of the Heritage Project at Capital Community College in Hartford Connecticut, offers a more productive approach. In a recent essay titled, “Higher Ed Approaches to Empowering Students,” which appeared on the Getting Smart online community, Dr. Partridge discusses the value of Place Based Pedagogy for student learning, community engagement, and empowerment.

Chuck Morse interviews Mark Fisher - Republican candidate for Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Website: http://www.markfisher2014.com/ About Mark Fisher: Mark Fisher, owner of Merchant's Fabrication in Auburn, a metal manufacturing facility, is seeking the Republican nomination for Governor in 2014. He was born in 1958 and grew up in Westfield, where he played Little League and Babe Ruth baseball in the summer and Suburban League basketball in winter then going on to play Varsity Basketball and Baseball. He graduated from Westfield High in 1976 and took a job as a Union member at Old Colony Envelope Company where he learned the value of earning a buck. He financed his education with his salary from Old Colony and graduated from Hartford State Technical College (now Capital Community College) in 1979 with an A.S. degree in nuclear engineering technology. After a year working at a nuclear power plant in Virginia he returned to Massachusetts and graduated from Worcester Polytechnic Institute in 1983 with a degree in mechanical engineering. He spent the next 5 years at Raytheon, then began attending evening graduate classes at WPI, earning an M.S. in manufacturing and an M.B.A. Like many other Americans, Mark was unemployed several times in the past 20 years. He recalls that his children made more money from a lemonade stand than he did during a nine month period of unemployment. He vowed that he would keep a supply of dollar bills on-hand ready to give to people less fortunate, and he has kept that promise. His final layoff was in 2008, and on the same day that he received his notice, he found a manufacturing business for sale and purchased the business he now owns. He financed the business with liens on his house and his mother’s home and a home equity line of credit. Within just four years he was able to satisfy the loan and put money away for his children’s college fund and retirement. He is especially proud of the improvements he made to the employee benefits program, and a number of other benefits including reimbursement for deductibles and extending sick time. He is also proud of Merchant’s growth (24% in 2012). Married to his college sweetheart Margaret Mary O’Brien for the past 21 years, the couple has two children and resides in Shrewsbury where he plays in a 55-plus softball league (double header!) every Saturday. He strongly believes that the obstacles he overcame to get an education and build a business have taught him that in America, success comes with dedication and hard work. He promises to work hard to help provide the same opportunities to the hard-working people of The Commonwealth.
